wickedfleaWhat do you call quickie marts? I always called them superettes, because in the town I grew up in there's a bunch of them all owned by one guy, and they're all called Northgate Superette or Green Oaks Superette or whatever. But several years ago I became aware that most people don't call them that, so it might just be a Starkville thing. Now I have to stop and think what to call it so people will know what I'm talking about. I guess I usually say "quick stop."
Speaking of that, I miss superettes. In the South, I always drove everywhere, and I used to stop in superettes at least a couple of times a day to get Cokes or smokes or Screw magazines or whatever. Oh yeah, and fucking BEER like a madman when I still drank. But up here I drive much less, get gas at the supermarket, and bring back several cartons of cigarettes from home when I go, so I never have to go. And if I have to get something quick, I usually stop in at a CVS or Walgreen's for some reason. Yep, I miss the B-Quik beat.
